NGK is a good brand. Check mo sa manual kung ano ang recommended OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer - meaning STOCK) spark plug type. Typically costs less than P100 pesos.

You can do the spark plug replacement on your next oil change.

Yup. That's why isabay mo sa oil change para makatipid.

parehas tayo ng makina 2E 1.3 liter 12 valve SOHC pag platinum spark plug NGK maganda sabog sa loob ng combustion chamber at mahaba buhay nya ang bili ko 640 peso isang set One box inside 4 pieces plugs. Bili ka sa NGK Automotive Parts Inc. sa banawe sa quezon para orig. habang nag lalakad ka wag mo kausapin ung mga taong lalapit sayo roon. Much better na pumunta ka sa loob ng store. Every one year ako nag papalit ng plug araw araw ko ginagamit. Pag inalok ka ng denso 80 pesos ata un OEM un ng toyota kaso walang tatak japan thailand ata

Panoorin mo tong video ng NGK spark plug platinum para sa 2E engine ko
